2012-04-12Revert "mm: vmscan: fix misused nr_reclaimed in shrink_mem_cgroup_zone()"Ying Han
This reverts commit c38446cc65e1f2b3eb8630c53943b94c4f65f670. Before the commit, the code makes senses to me but not after the commit. The "nr_reclaimed" is the number of pages reclaimed by scanning through the memcg's lru lists. The "nr_to_reclaim" is the target value for the whole function. For example, we like to early break the reclaim if reclaimed 32 pages under direct reclaim (not DEF_PRIORITY). After the reverted commit, the target "nr_to_reclaim" is decremented each time by "nr_reclaimed" but we still use it to compare the "nr_reclaimed". It just doesn't make sense to me...

2012-04-12hugetlb: fix race condition in hugetlb_fault()Chris Metcalf
The race is as follows: Suppose a multi-threaded task forks a new process (on cpu A), thus bumping up the ref count on all the pages. While the fork is occurring (and thus we have marked all the PTEs as read-only), another thread in the original process (on cpu B) tries to write to a huge page, taking an access violation from the write-protect and calling hugetlb_cow(). Now, suppose the fork() fails. It will undo the COW and decrement the ref count on the pages, so the ref count on the huge page drops back to 1. Meanwhile hugetlb_cow() also decrements the ref count by one on the original page, since the original address space doesn't need it any more, having copied a new page to replace the original page. This leaves the ref count at zero, and when we call unlock_page(), we panic. fork on CPU A fault on CPU B ============= ============== ... down_write(&parent->mmap_sem); down_write_nested(&child->mmap_sem); ... while duplicating vmas if error break; ... up_write(&child->mmap_sem); up_write(&parent->mmap_sem); ... down_read(&parent->mmap_sem); ... lock_page(page); handle COW page_mapcount(old_page) == 2 alloc and prepare new_page ... handle error page_remove_rmap(page); put_page(page); ... fold new_page into pte page_remove_rmap(page); put_page(page); ... oops ==> unlock_page(page); up_read(&parent->mmap_sem); The solution is to take an extra reference to the page while we are holding the lock on it.

2012-03-29radix-tree: use iterators in find_get_pages* functionsKonstantin Khlebnikov
Replace radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot() and radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() in page-cache lookup functions with brand-new radix-tree direct iterating. This avoids the double-scanning and pointer copying. Iterator don't stop after nr_pages page-get fails in a row, it continue lookup till the radix-tree end. Thus we can safely remove these restart conditions. Unfortunately, old implementation didn't forbid nr_pages == 0, this corner case does not fit into new code, so the patch adds an extra check at the beginning.

2012-03-29mm: only IPI CPUs to drain local pages if they existGilad Ben-Yossef
Calculate a cpumask of CPUs with per-cpu pages in any zone and only send an IPI requesting CPUs to drain these pages to the buddy allocator if they actually have pages when asked to flush. This patch saves 85%+ of IPIs asking to drain per-cpu pages in case of severe memory pressure that leads to OOM since in these cases multiple, possibly concurrent, allocation requests end up in the direct reclaim code path so when the per-cpu pages end up reclaimed on first allocation failure for most of the proceeding allocation attempts until the memory pressure is off (possibly via the OOM killer) there are no per-cpu pages on most CPUs (and there can easily be hundreds of them). This also has the side effect of shortening the average latency of direct reclaim by 1 or more order of magnitude since waiting for all the CPUs to ACK the IPI takes a long time. Tested by running "hackbench 400" on a 8 CPU x86 VM and observing the difference between the number of direct reclaim attempts that end up in drain_all_pages() and those were more then 1/2 of the online CPU had any per-cpu page in them, using the vmstat counters introduced in the next patch in the series and using proc/interrupts. In the test sceanrio, this was seen to save around 3600 global IPIs after trigerring an OOM on a concurrent workload: $ cat /proc/vmstat | tail -n 2 pcp_global_drain 0 pcp_global_ipi_saved 0 $ cat /proc/interrupts | grep CAL CAL: 1 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 Function call interrupts $ hackbench 400 [OOM messages snipped] $ cat /proc/vmstat | tail -n 2 pcp_global_drain 3647 pcp_global_ipi_saved 3642 $ cat /proc/interrupts | grep CAL CAL: 6 13 6 3 3 3 1 2 7 Function call interrupts Please note that if the global drain is removed from the direct reclaim path as a patch from Mel Gorman currently suggests this should be replaced with an on_each_cpu_cond invocation.

2012-03-29slub: only IPI CPUs that have per cpu obj to flushGilad Ben-Yossef
flush_all() is called for each kmem_cache_destroy(). So every cache being destroyed dynamically ends up sending an IPI to each CPU in the system, regardless if the cache has ever been used there. For example, if you close the Infinband ipath driver char device file, the close file ops calls kmem_cache_destroy(). So running some infiniband config tool on one a single CPU dedicated to system tasks might interrupt the rest of the 127 CPUs dedicated to some CPU intensive or latency sensitive task. I suspect there is a good chance that every line in the output of "git grep kmem_cache_destroy linux/ | grep '\->'" has a similar scenario. This patch attempts to rectify this issue by sending an IPI to flush the per cpu objects back to the free lists only to CPUs that seem to have such objects. The check which CPU to IPI is racy but we don't care since asking a CPU without per cpu objects to flush does no damage and as far as I can tell the flush_all by itself is racy against allocs on remote CPUs anyway, so if you required the flush_all to be determinstic, you had to arrange for locking regardless. Without this patch the following artificial test case: $ cd /sys/kernel/slab $ for DIR in *; do cat $DIR/alloc_calls > /dev/null; done produces 166 IPIs on an cpuset isolated CPU. With it it produces none. The code path of memory allocation failure for CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y config was tested using fault injection framework.

2012-03-29swapon: check validity of swap_flagsHugh Dickins
Most system calls taking flags first check that the flags passed in are valid, and that helps userspace to detect when new flags are supported. But swapon never did so: start checking now, to help if we ever want to support more swap_flags in future. It's difficult to get stray bits set in an int, and swapon is not widely used, so this is most unlikely to break any userspace; but we can just revert if it turns out to do so.

2012-03-29mm, coredump: fail allocations when coredumping instead of oom killingDavid Rientjes
The size of coredump files is limited by RLIMIT_CORE, however, allocating large amounts of memory results in three negative consequences: - the coredumping process may be chosen for oom kill and quickly deplete all memory reserves in oom conditions preventing further progress from being made or tasks from exiting, - the coredumping process may cause other processes to be oom killed without fault of their own as the result of a SIGSEGV, for example, in the coredumping process, or - the coredumping process may result in a livelock while writing to the dump file if it needs memory to allocate while other threads are in the exit path waiting on the coredumper to complete. This is fixed by implying __GFP_NORETRY in the page allocator for coredumping processes when reclaim has failed so the allocations fail and the process continues to exit.

2012-03-29mm for fs: add truncate_pagecache_range()Hugh Dickins
Holepunching filesystems ext4 and xfs are using truncate_inode_pages_range but forgetting to unmap pages first (ocfs2 remembers). This is not really a bug, since races already require truncate_inode_page() to handle that case once the page is locked; but it can be very inefficient if the file being punched happens to be mapped into many vmas. Provide a drop-in replacement truncate_pagecache_range() which does the unmapping pass first, handling the awkward mismatch between arguments to truncate_inode_pages_range() and arguments to unmap_mapping_range(). Note that holepunching does not unmap privately COWed pages in the range: POSIX requires that we do so when truncating, but it's hard to justify, difficult to implement without an i_size cutoff, and no filesystem is attempting to implement it.

2012-03-23coredump: add VM_NODUMP, MADV_NODUMP, MADV_CLEAR_NODUMPJason Baron
Since we no longer need the VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag, let's use the freed bit for 'VM_NODUMP' flag. The idea is is to add a new madvise() flag: MADV_DONTDUMP, which can be set by applications to specifically request memory regions which should not dump core. The specific application I have in mind is qemu: we can add a flag there that wouldn't dump all of guest memory when qemu dumps core. This flag might also be useful for security sensitive apps that want to absolutely make sure that parts of memory are not dumped. To clear the flag use: MADV_DODUMP.

2012-03-23coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flagJason Baron
The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which can be quite large. There are already a number of filter flags in /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types' of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this case). Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need for this flag. The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new 'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags: 'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the region. The qemu code which implements this features is at: http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this patch. I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are dumped. This patch: The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

2012-03-22memcg: fix performance of mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() should be very fast because it's called very frequently. Now, it needs to look up page_cgroup and its memcg....this is slow. This patch adds a global variable to check "any memcg is moving or not". With this, the caller doesn't need to visit page_cgroup and memcg. Here is a test result. A test program makes page faults onto a file, MAP_SHARED and makes each page's page_mapcount(page) > 1, and free the range by madvise() and page fault again. This program causes 26214400 times of page fault onto a file(size was 1G.) and shows shows the cost of mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat().

2012-03-22memcg: use new logic for page stat accountingKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Now, page-stat-per-memcg is recorded into per page_cgroup flag by duplicating page's status into the flag. The reason is that memcg has a feature to move a page from a group to another group and we have race between "move" and "page stat accounting", Under current logic, assume CPU-A and CPU-B. CPU-A does "move" and CPU-B does "page stat accounting". When CPU-A goes 1st, CPU-A CPU-B update "struct page" info. move_lock_mem_cgroup(memcg) see pc->flags copy page stat to new group overwrite pc->mem_cgroup. move_unlock_mem_cgroup(memcg) move_lock_mem_cgroup(mem) set pc->flags update page stat accounting move_unlock_mem_cgroup(mem) stat accounting is guarded by move_lock_mem_cgroup() and "move" logic (CPU-A) doesn't see changes in "struct page" information. But it's costly to have the same information both in 'struct page' and 'struct page_cgroup'. And, there is a potential problem. For example, assume we have PG_dirty accounting in memcg. PG_..is a flag for struct page. PCG_ is a flag for struct page_cgroup. (This is just an example. The same problem can be found in any kind of page stat accounting.) CPU-A CPU-B TestSet PG_dirty (delay) TestClear PG_dirty if (TestClear(PCG_dirty)) memcg->nr_dirty-- if (TestSet(PCG_dirty)) memcg->nr_dirty++ Here, memcg->nr_dirty = +1, this is wrong. This race was reported by Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com>. Now, only FILE_MAPPED is supported but fortunately, it's serialized by page table lock and this is not real bug, _now_, If this potential problem is caused by having duplicated information in struct page and struct page_cgroup, we may be able to fix this by using original 'struct page' information. But we'll have a problem in "move account" Assume we use only PG_dirty. CPU-A CPU-B TestSet PG_dirty (delay) move_lock_mem_cgroup() if (PageDirty(page)) new_memcg->nr_dirty++ pc->mem_cgroup = new_memcg; move_unlock_mem_cgroup() move_lock_mem_cgroup() memcg = pc->mem_cgroup new_memcg->nr_dirty++ accounting information may be double-counted. This was original reason to have PCG_xxx flags but it seems PCG_xxx has another problem. I think we need a bigger lock as move_lock_mem_cgroup(page) TestSetPageDirty(page) update page stats (without any checks) move_unlock_mem_cgroup(page) This fixes both of problems and we don't have to duplicate page flag into page_cgroup. Please note: move_lock_mem_cgroup() is held only when there are possibility of "account move" under the system. So, in most path, status update will go without atomic locks. This patch introduces mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() and mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat() both should be called at modifying 'struct page' information if memcg takes care of it. as mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() modify page information mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() => never check any 'struct page' info, just update counters. mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat(). This patch is slow because we need to call begin_update_page_stat()/ end_update_page_stat() regardless of accounted will be changed or not. A following patch adds an easy optimization and reduces the cost.

2012-03-22memcg: remove PCG_MOVE_LOCK flag from page_cgroupKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
PCG_MOVE_LOCK is used for bit spinlock to avoid race between overwriting pc->mem_cgroup and page statistics accounting per memcg. This lock helps to avoid the race but the race is very rare because moving tasks between cgroup is not a usual job. So, it seems using 1bit per page is too costly. This patch changes this lock as per-memcg spinlock and removes PCG_MOVE_LOCK. If smaller lock is required, we'll be able to add some hashes but I'd like to start from this.

2012-03-22memcg: simplify move_account() checkKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
In memcg, for avoiding take-lock-irq-off at accessing page_cgroup, a logic, flag + rcu_read_lock(), is used. This works as following CPU-A CPU-B rcu_read_lock() set flag if(flag is set) take heavy lock do job. synchronize_rcu() rcu_read_unlock() take heavy lock. In recent discussion, it's argued that using per-cpu value for this flag just complicates the code because 'set flag' is very rare. This patch changes 'flag' implementation from percpu to atomic_t. This will be much simpler.

2012-03-22memcg: remove PCG_CACHE page_cgroup flagKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
We record 'the page is cache' with the PCG_CACHE bit in page_cgroup. Here, "CACHE" means anonymous user pages (and SwapCache). This doesn't include shmem. Considering callers, at charge/uncharge, the caller should know what the page is and we don't need to record it by using one bit per page. This patch removes PCG_CACHE bit and make callers of mem_cgroup_charge_statistics() to specify what the page is. About page migration: Mapping of the used page is not touched during migra tion (see page_remove_rmap) so we can rely on it and push the correct charge type down to __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common from end_migration for unused page. The force flag was misleading was abused for skipping the needless page_mapped() / PageCgroupMigration() check, as we know the unused page is no longer mapped and cleared the migration flag just a few lines up. But doing the checks is no biggie and it's not worth adding another flag just to skip them.

Commit e94c8a9cbce1 ("memcg: make mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() more efficient") removed move_lock_page_cgroup(). So we do not have to check PageTransHuge in mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() and fallback into the locked accounting because both move_account() and thp split are done with compound_lock so they cannot race. The race between update vs. move is protected by mem_cgroup_stealed. PageTransHuge pages shouldn't appear in this code path currently because we are tracking only file pages at the moment but later we are planning to track also other pages (e.g. mlocked ones).

2012-03-22mm: forbid lumpy-reclaim in shrink_active_list()Konstantin Khlebnikov
Reset the reclaim mode in shrink_active_list() to RECLAIM_MODE_SINGLE | RECLAIM_MODE_ASYNC. (sync/async sign is used only in shrink_page_list and does not affect shrink_active_list) Currenly shrink_active_list() sometimes works in lumpy-reclaim mode, if RECLAIM_MODE_LUMPYRECLAIM is left over from an earlier shrink_inactive_list(). Meanwhile, in age_active_anon() sc->reclaim_mode is totally zero. So the current behavior is too complex and confusing, and this looks like bug. In general, shrink_active_list() populates the inactive list for the next shrink_inactive_list(). Lumpy shring_inactive_list() isolates pages around the chosen one from both the active and inactive lists. So, there is no reason for lumpy isolation in shrink_active_list().
